Summary |
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is a missile defense system developed and deployed after its proposal in 1987. Unlike offensive weapons, THAAD is solely designed for defense, with its primary function being the interception and destruction of short and medium-range ballistic missiles during their final flight phase. This is achieved through the use of a powerful radar system that tracks and eliminates missiles before they can be launched.
